The club announced in March that general admission prices would increase in line with inflation for the 2026/27, 2027/28 and 2028/29 seasons, drawing immediate and sustained opposition from fan groups.
Protests at home matches against Fulham, Paris Saint-Germain and Crystal Palace saw flags and banners withdrawn from the Kop and demonstrations inside and outside the ground. Supporters were urged not to spend money inside the stadium, with American owners Fenway Sports Group the primary target of the backlash.
Liverpool have now reached a compromise with fan groups including Spirit of Shankly and Spion Kop 1906. General admission prices will rise by three per cent next season, with a full price freeze for 2027/28.
Both parties will use that period to explore longer-term commercial alternatives to annual inflationary increases.
Spirit of Shankly acknowledged the outcome was partial but welcomed it.
"We understand disappointment at next season's increase will remain for some, but there will be none the season after. We would like to thank those at LFC who have listened to us and engaged with us — not all club hierarchies would have done the same."
Liverpool warned that increases may return from 2028/29 if alternative solutions cannot be found. The club posted record revenues exceeding £703million in their most recent accounts, a figure that had sharpened supporter anger throughout.
Arne Slot's side sit fourth in the Premier League and face Chelsea at Anfield on Saturday, with final fixtures against Aston Villa and Brentford still to come.
The protests worked. Whether the truce holds beyond next season is a different question entirely.
